Truth about people

years ago, working at my first job as a public accountant, the one hard and painful lesson i learnt was that people only watch for their own back, while stabbing yours. it was another archaic game of survival - just a little renewed from its older cavemen aged one. you hunt, just don't be the hunted. unfortunately then (perhaps even now)i was the hunted.

i am always at a cross-road when it comes to doing what is right and doing the right thing. sometimes i wonder about the sentiments of that statement. do i pursue my rights or do i step into the realm of altruism...again?

you know in the end, no one really appreciates your altruistic act. for as long, after their've used you (also read, abuse), they got their way. yes, they pay you but you are forever indebted to them in one from or another. that is how life pans out for us, mere employees..

so in the end, it pays to be vigilant of your rights and to deploy some form of contingency plans for your life..just in case, you become a basket case, workwise!!
